PROCESS: Students must listen to the teacher throughout the entire class. If a student does not listen to directions:

1. There will be one verbal warning. If a child continues the behavior after the warning they will be removed from the class. They will have a time out in the school office for 5 minutes.
2. They will be asked if they are ready to return to class. If yes, they are reminded that they must listen to the teacher.
3. If there is a second warning, the child will be removed and the parent will be contacted to come and pick up their child. Parents will be informed if
   the behavior continues.
